Description

This book tackles the obscurity of Burmese silverwork by illuminating and describing for the first time 100 Burmese silver artefacts in a stunning photographic gallery. The centrepiece gallery of silverwork masterpieces is bookended by two well-illustrated and informative chapters that provide readers with deeper insights into Burmese silverwork. This book captures the great allure of Burmese silverwork – from the sublime artistry of the decoration to the extraordinary skill of the silversmith and the profound meaning of the visual narratives.
